72.

To one’s own roof
Mars vacating
to a house of walls
interior

to collect, a calm
perhaps unfounded
to collect

to plan

—All right, if you promise not to cry, though




73.

To near the finish
ostrich
the first snows of absence

to ratify beautiful
to discard

says nothing else
purse-lipped

a xerox of her passport photo
all reasonable requests




74.

When her speech had been set free she began to sing
valescence
a calming

rocks and the shore
terrain

orange and green
a prayer shawl

wal-low
wander
